The Worlds Best Kept Auto Secret

On the subject of fuel doors and their sides, another interesting (not really but meh) fact is that generally (exceptions being duel exhausts and some randoms) the fuel door always on the side opposite the exhaust.

So if you cant remember what side it is, think of the exhaust you spent sevral hundred bucks on and what side it's on ...... :lol: :lol:

my exhaust is in the factory position, right below(and round the corner from) my filler cap...

so... yeah... you might want to put that one in the urban legends area too.

I don't think my car would be a random, they seem to be common enough overseas.

Checked out a couple of other toyota's the other day and there seems to be no hard and fast rule.

One had a big fuel door ladel with an arrow on it and the other one was just wrong, pump handle on the right, fuel door on the left, but the owners thought that it was which side of the speedo the fuel guage was on but this dosn't hold true for most cars either.

It seems the rule is, there might be an indicator of which side it is but there might not, so just bloody check and then remember it.
